many newer residents tried to blend in with the area’s gritty history and dressed “half the time like they’re homeless people.”

looks like they don’t have that far to fall, then. I feel better, since they’re already halfway to where they’re headed anyway.

“These are not children. They are adults.”

This is manifestly not true.

Those poor little trustafarians- they can get a job in a grocery store that only has 4 hour shifts- perfect for them

What is your source for the $50-75K pay scale for new-3 years of service officers?

I appreciate the DI comment, and hopefully will appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.

Having no love for the genre, he had no ear for picking music. Having no money (his parents must not have been completely dumb), he hired only the most unemployable locals to be his DJs, all of whom were inarticulate and probably illiterate. His playlists seemed to be supplied by whatever he could find in the bargain bin at Yellow Front (bonus points to anyone here who has ever even heard of that store).

The only audience seemed to be local businesses using the station for store or waiting room music, which is the only time anyone ever seemed to listen to it. Those same businesses rarely advertised with him. His prices were too high, and his contempt for his audience was so transparent that no one wanted to be associated with his station.

Also, they didn’t think it was good business to turn their advertising over to DJs who couldn’t read a cue card. Once, a local businessman got so indignant that he stormed into the studio and interrupted the live broadcast to demand his money back.

And what is really funny about this is, twenty-five years later, he is still there! Imagine living that way… a quarter of a century playing music you hate for people you can’t stand, while your rich parents give you just enough money to live on, and you can’t run a successful business even with a monopoly. That is a very special sort of self-inflicted hell.

I still tune in every time I go home (briefly), just to hear how bad it can be.

It’s good that reality is hitting them hard though. If they want to choose they’re own hours to work, via self-employment, then they better get working twice as hard. Politically, my guess is that they’re Democrats or lean Democrat.
